The doctors, however, spoke of inhalation, while the girl had abrasions on her face and neck, which were not specified as to how they were caused
A fall in the bathroom of her home effectively started the countdown of her life and Volos remains restless a few days after her funeral. 14-year-old Eleni passed away and the investigation into the circumstances of the tragedy is now underway.
The child’s parents claimed that she suffered an electric shock, but the doctors were puzzled by the injuries and the general image of the little girl. The medical examiner Grigoris Leon took a position in the morning, speaking to MEGA.
After 6 months of hospitalization at Hippocrates hospital, the 14-year-old ended up with causes of death still remain unknown. The girl, who lived with her mother, stepfather and half-brother, in Aliveri Nea Ionia in Volos, allegedly fell into the bathtub of her home on 4-1-2022. According to what her relatives reported to the doctors of the Emergency Department, where they took her in an SUV, the 14-year-old suffered an electric shock from the water heater that was on while she was taking a bath.
The doctors, however, spoke of suction, while the girl had bruises on her face and neck, which were not specified how they were caused. The girl was in a very bad condition for this reason and was intubated and transferred to the Hippocrates Hospital of Thessaloniki, where she remained for 6 months until her death.
Heartbreaking moments unfolded on July 1 in Aliveri, Volos, where the family, friends and neighbors of 14-year-old Eleni accompanied her to her last residence. The medical examiner, Grigoris Leon, pointed out that a forensic examination is able to clarify whether we are talking about an electric shock, as the current when it enters the body causes a burn and characteristic changes in organs, for example the heart.
It is noted that abrasions were found on the girl’s face and neck, the cause of which is unknown at the moment.
Regarding aspiration, Mr. Leon said: “A loss of consciousness even for a moment can cause us an inability to separate food or liquids and find the right way which is the esophagus and enter our respiratory network and obstruct the bronchial branches and create pneumonia’.
Finally, the medical examiner pointed out that he will play an important role the 14-year-old’s medical file as he remained for some time in the hospital.
